Art Classes in Waikanae - Zen Doodling
Next month's workshop topic at my Waikanae studio is Zen Doodling. I'm offering a block 4, 3 hour long workshops on Tuesday mornings. This is all about pattern making and arranging and is great for complete beginners to art as well as giving more experienced creatives the scope for developing some pretty sophisticated art works. It is also a very soothing and meditative art practice. I will guide you through small steps to make your 'pattern bank' and help you assemble compositions to bring them together in an art work.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
